1992 BMW 8 Series 850Ci review from Germany
"A magnificent machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
I just changed the engine oil & filter twice.
General comments?
Beautifully built and finished.
Hard-wearing leather interior still looked like new when I sold the car.
Rear seats suitable only for small children, but trunk is quite large.
Extremely comfortable, quiet, smooth and stable even at very high speeds.
Well designed dashboard, clear instrumentation and impressive centre console.
Powerful V12 engine (300 HP) very impressive.
Automatic transmission changes very smoothly.
